Rush Limbaugh...dead

[ThumperX]

Is that the misogynistic, racist philosophy?

you left out Xenophobic and homophobic.

Wow did any of you haters even listen to the guy or did you go by what others told you of him? Rush was pretty funny if you got the joke, not really my cup of tea but obviously he riled the right people. Cursing a dead person says nothing of them and everything of you.

He used to have this hilarious bit where he would laugh at those who died from AIDs. People are too sensitive today, that is funny stuff.

One should always say something good about the dead...

Rush is dead. Good.

I am all for comedy and humor regardless of how offensive it is, if it's in good nature of comedy. If you have a joke that uses the word nigger, and it's good material, I will laugh.

Limbaugh was not one of those people and he meant every word he said.

Limbaugh's "bit" about gay people, and tons of other things he said, was on purpose. He was that hateful.

So funny!

I hope it is obvious I was kidding. None of the shit he said was funny. The world got a little better today.

Rush Limbaugh stoked and sold Hate and Bigotry.

The amount of harm he did to this country may never be matched.

The world is a better place without him.

It wasn't obvious. And I'll apologize for coming after you on that post.

You might wanna start with knock knock jokes if humor was your angle.

Did the other posters' similar jokes also not resonate? Like the anti-black and Michael j Fox ones?

 

[UDRider]

Anyway /s comes in handy in text based conversations.

Ya for sure, lessons learned. Figured the outlandishness was self evident. The more you know, my friends.

I thought the sun looked a little brighter today... ��

I agree with the Rabbi.

Rabbi Michael Adam Latz:

I do not celebrate anyone's death.

But there are those for whom I cannot weep.

:thumbup

I don't wish death on anyone. But I have read some obituaries with great satisfaction.

:thumbup I was going to quote (I think) Mark Twain: "I will not attend the funeral, but I will send a letter saying I approve of it."

One should always say something good about the dead...

Rush is dead. Good.

Good. :thumbup

Hey, knock knock!

Who's there?

Not Rush.

That was your post, above. ^

There was nothing funny about it in any context of humor.

Just take the L and own it. I make 'off-color' jokes often too. I'm not being sensitive.

The man you're referencing, making 'jokes' is a piece of shit human. Or was...

FWIW, that's why most folks on the internet have taken to adding /s at the end of a sarcastic statement, to make it clear that they're being sarcastic.

 

[SuperMike]

Well here we are.

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

The original statement, by Nathan Poe, read:

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

Was he worse on the radio or something? I didn't really follow him, but I caught his TV show a few times in the 90's late at night when i was stoned and it really wasn't that far out. Seemed like he was selling pretty basic GOP standard issue disgust for poor people pamphlets, nothing really remarkable about it.

Dogmatic politics always annoy me, so I wasn't a big fan, but he didn't strike me as particularly innovative at the time.

FWIW, I understood the sarcasm. About the only person I can think of who would have said that in seriousness died today.

My crazy ass little brother probably would. I know he was a fan of that dude.
